Ottawa says there no guarantee we will trade you to where you want to go and from that point, things may have got heated, and here we are.

He'd be a RFA, he'd have no say where he is traded regardless. They could have given the qualifying offer and traded him.
And of course he is expecting more than his QO, the guy just scored 31 goals and 54 points in 87 games since being acquired from Columbus.
This is nothing more than Ottawa shooting themselves in the foot out of spite.
But if we are going to go with blind speculation.... this does not happen with a white player.
